I posted elsewhere that, starting with the battery at 100%, I drove 264 miles recently with my wife as a passenger, with 16 miles range showing left when I finished. About 40% was on dual carriageway at 65mph or so. Had air con on and didn’t use any eco settings.

The SR GOM amazes me as well. My ER figure is ‘only’ 308-312 - and I live south-ish. What do LR people have showing at 100%?

264 mile trip, for my wife and I, with suitcase and other stuff in the boot. Car fully charged. 110 miles on dual carriageway A1, trying to keep at 65-67. Aimed for 55-60, where allowed on other roads. Average 47mph. 16 miles range left on arrival. Couldn’t have done it in cold weather, but...

Another advantage of an orange car 🤣

Pleased to report that the £15 I was charged was clearly a deposit; this has been replaced by the correct sum for the kWh taken. Also, I have checked my Type 2 - 2 cable and pins L2 and L3 are empty, so single phase - which explains why I wasn’t getting about 7kW. As another poster said...

Yes, it does. Thank you. When I have time over the next few days, I will sit in the car and try them all out, along with those in the list I have, aiming to come up with a definitive list that works - at least on my EV. If/When I get that far, I will put that list on here.

I would value a full UK list of recognised commands. Anyone have a link to one? I have found an Aussie list, but I am sure there will be differences.

Can I tell from the writing on the cable (sorry I am away from the car until Wednesday) which phase cable I have? When I used it for the first time at the National Trust property, it certainly looked thicker and less malleable than cables of other marque cars nearby.

Interesting thought. I guess I will need to wait a few working days to find out. I will post if I get a refund.

Thanks. Apart from my ignorance, I think any ‘fault’ lies with NT rather than the charging company and Grriff has kindly contacted them. I will get a 3-phase cable, write off my lost £10-£11 to experience - and keep learning 🙂

Thanks for the helpful reply. Looks like I need to invest in a 3-phase cable. Still a lot of learning to do on my part.

I posted recently querying whether Type 2 cables were redundant. Well, I thought I would christen mine yesterday, at a National Trust site. The initial reading was at 3.4kW, rising soon after to 3.6kW. When I returned to the car 2+ hours later the charge rate was 1.4kW. I had a look at cars...

Great tip - thank you. As for my memory… 🤣

My dealer kindly supplied both Type 2 and granny cables with my car. I have used the granny cable overnight, at friends and relatives, on a number of occasions, but never the Type 2 cable. On long journeys I faithfully use up boot space by taking it, just in case, but it has done nothing except...

One for the mods to think about, if others are with me. Might we have the option of showing our car colour, along with the vehicle, in our profile as it appears in posts?

Comments enabled me to find the manual page reference = page 295. Was expecting to find it in the battery charging section, which is what fooled me.

Ah, the advantages of Agile. I will have to live with my 6 hours IOG cheap rate and pay full rate for the remainder. All in a good cause. An aside to Rolfe if she reads this: I cannot see reference to a sub-10% charge in my manual. Probably missing it, but whereabouts should I find it?

👍 Thank you

Hope it’s not cheating to ask about the ‘other end’ of the battery. I have read that it should be run down occasionally to below 10% before charging up. Is this recommended / necessary / unnecessary?

I’m in the club as well. I can’t figure out why it happens occasionally, but I want to say (from memory, which could well be faulty) that it has only happened when I have a front seat passenger, but no others. I will definitely check the passenger situation the next time it occurs.
